Making a CV work for you • Personal Statement • Key Skills • Achievements
Other details • Age and Marital Status • Addresses of where you have worked • Hobbies and interests • References
Definition of a CV ‘A CV is your sales document that highlights your skills, achievements and experience in a way that the reader is motivated to meet you’ It is a SELLING document
How to sell yourself in 30 seconds Profile – your banner headline • Gives a brief overview of who you are • Highlights your main skills and experience • Communicates personal attributes • Motivates the reader to know more • Should consist of 30-50 words
Profile example ‘An accomplished and qualified business and management trainer, who quickly develops rapport with people. Dynamic and humorous approach helps create a stimulating learning environment. Maintains complete professionalism in all business matters’
Profile Exercise • On your own highlight all the words that best describe you • In pairs help each other to narrow down to the 10 words that best describe you • On your own have a go at writing your profile using these 10 words within 30-50 words • In pairs see if you can improve the profile
Presenting your career history • What you have done • For how long • What you achieved • What skills you developed
Common Mistakes • Include irrelevant information • Write a lengthy job description • Use jargon = Rejection
STAR Situation Result Task Action
Achievements exercise In pairs help each other complete the exercise looking at your current job and your achievements in it. Try to find quantifiable achievements e.g. reduced rent arrears by 10 % over a six month period
